Quite a few sites have dropped off the radar

I've had a pretty decent service since been activated just over a month ago but I've recently ran in to troubles with accessing certain sites (ebay.com, businessweek.com, my own sites hosted in the US and a fair few others) , something I didn't have before when everyone else was complaining.

I decided to see where the problem lied with a simple trace route and it doesn't seem to be a problem with my router or easynet, the connection seems to stop responding somewhere in the US. Apart from that I haven't got a clue what's wrong. Any ideas?

I've pm'd him and haven't had a response yet (not unexpected as he's here volunterily).

Today I can access 2 sites I couldn't yesterday, businessweek.com and EA sites (I was trying to get that bf2142 veterans program sorted) but beyond3d.com has dropped off now and I'm sure a few others have too.

It's annoying since I hadn't had any issues until this weekend, when they supposedly fixed everyone elses issues.

It seems to be related to the plagued 90.194.XXX.XX IP block and it would be interesting to see if anyone else has issues, I can't believe that it can just be isolated to me.

You may have picked up a bad ip, or it is possible that this is linked to an issue at your exchange. I understand that several of the supposed BOGON issues were actually exchange faults that have since been rectified.
